There is a horrible storm brewing outside! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything as awful. The waves are crashing, the clouds are black in every direction, and it looks awful! It’s almost as if our little island is safe from the surrounding storm. I don’t know how, but it just seems to be.
In the distance, I can see a ship. Or at least, I think it’s a ship. I’ve only heard of them in books and stories. But it looks as if it’s crashing! It seems as if people are jumping off. My heavens, I hope they are fine!
My father dropped the news on me, which I can’t believe. I am… a duchess? Disbelief fills my soul. Prosperous story makes my soul weep and my knees weak. If only vengeance could be met. Sorrow fills my soul.
But oh, the prince. He doth sweep me off my feet. To see another man it a remarkable feet. I am in disbelief. Maybe we can blossom.
Oh, but my father disapproves of him so. I don’t know why, and I hope everything will be okay.
A love this true canniest be denied. I do love the prince, and I proposed. Though he is the only man my age I’ve seen, I feel the love. This is the best half hour I have ever experienced. I want to be with the prince forever, and I know he feels the same way. He called me beautiful, though I’ve never seen another woman.

My father finally accepted my love! Now, we can finally be together! His approval means much to me. What a blessed day it has been! My soul is filled with joyous delight.
However, my father’s acceptance didn’t come without a warning. Both Ferdinand and I were specifically warned not to defile one another. If we did break the covenants set aside for holy matrimony, our marriage would be cursed and unblessed.
Something happened as well. I’m not sure what, but Ferdinand and me seem to be blessed! My soul is filled with delight. Never in all my years have I felt such happiness. Perhaps, this little Island I have known for so long, is more blessed than I can ever imagine.
Blessed am I! How grateful am I!
Ferdinand and I played a game of chess, and it seems as if he’s cheated! Such a wonders game chess is. Before, my father has been my only game companion. But now, I have many more people to play against.
And such a wonderus race humans are! Father has forgiven those that hurt him, which shows me how caring he really is!
Now that I am truly in the world, I can see many men other than Ferdinand. And, needless to say, I am impressed!
Everything happened so fast, in a course of three hours. I found out the truth about my father, fell in love, and found a companion. Best of all, I’m being reunited with society! I’m excited to see where my life takes me, and am excited to see Milan!
